  1. It’s so good. This year I ran low on cream as we misjudged how much we needed for the trifle, so topped it up with whole milk and dotted the top with butter to make up the fat content. Worked out great. I’ve made it every year for the last five.

  2. Made it this year – was fantastic but definitely requires more salt than you think!

    I also made this for dinner last night for the first time, and it was a huge hit. Really fun recipe.

    i love this recipe. i do think the 30-30-30 cook time is too much (at least for my oven) and have found that 30-20-20 is the ideal cook time. i also fill with the cream mixture beyond half full, stopping just shy of where it will boil over. i’d like to try making it in a deeper dish next time, just so i can dump all of the cream mixture in.

    also: if you don’t sample the cream mixture uncooked, you’re missing out. i lick my fingers clean and then wash my hands like half a dozen times when assembling the casserole because it’s just so damn tasty.
